Family and Friends I have been terrible at updating this but here is a little background on what I am doing so you know that I have had no time!!!! These last weeks have been crazy we are without a kitchen!! We are remodeling it and we went to pick up our countertops this last weekend and they had cut them wrong!!! I about cried in the store but instead I yelled at them and asked them if they knew how hard it was to be a mom without a kitchen!!! So for 2 MONTHS I have had no kitchen and Thank Heavens mom is here so we can eat at her house!!! I am also working at the school two days a week and I help answer phones and Dad always has little projects for me to work on I really enjoy it. So does Brinlee because she gets to be with grammie those days!!! My company that I worked for in Utah wanted me to do some work out here for them and I was excited for that too!!! So I am also working doing that!!! SOOOO now that you have the downlow I have been pretty busy!!! No Baby yet but believe me we are working at it!!! Love you all and miss you all!!!!

Thank Heavens for DVD players!!!! I am so THANKFUL I have one in my car!!! To go anywhere out here it takes at least a 1/2 hour to 1 hour to get anywhere. And yes my friends it takes an entire hour to get to a grocery store or even better a Walmart!!! Every Saturday we try to go to Salina a town about 1 hour away to get our shopping done!! This saturday we met up with Kevy and Binny and the CUTEST girls ever and let the kids play at the mall!!! I love being here with Kevy and Binny and especially my sweet nieces!!!! Last weekend we went to one of Mikees basketball games and Kevy and Binny met us there. We had our own halftime entertainmet show!!!! All three of the girls danced the ENTIRE time they played music and at the end of each song they would strike this pose to show us they were done it was hilarious!!!!!! WE love them!!! One monday night for family night we made a crown that says My Family Loves ME the kids thought they were so neat and so I told them I would take their picture!!! Isn't this the cutest EVER!!! Brinlee loves to watch "broder" play his nintendo ds!! They have become so close to each other I love it!!!! Here is another one of them together at Mikees homecoming basketball game. If you look closely sissy is laying on Braxtons shoulder SO CUTE!!!! Here is Brinlee with Grammie, She just loves having the kids out here and they love being with her also!!! Here is Mikee and his homecoming royalty doesn't he look so cute!! He is the furthest on the right in the black shirt with a pink tie. Here is Mikee playing in his homecoming game #11 he did really good that night he is an awesome defender!!!! Here is Braxton sitting with his new friends!!! We try and go to every basketball game of Mikees and Braxton meets his friends there and they watch the game and hang out together. I am so glad he made friends fast it sure has been any easy transition for him!!!


OK so this is the weirdest thing I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!! Little pots of snow that the wind has formed. Because it blows so hard out here it actually makes these shapes out of the snow!! Lance and I thought that was pretty cool!!!

Here is a couple days after Christmas we had uncle Jake visiting and he took the kids outside to play in the snow!!! We were so excited that it had snowed a little bit more!!

Brinlee got a pretend make-up kit and a hair dryer kit she was in heaven!!!

Braxton got exactly what he wanted from Santa a green power ranger!!!

We had a wonderful white Christmas this year!!! Eventhough it didn't snow on Christmas day we did have snow on the ground and that is a first for our family!!! The kids were so excited and got a lot of fun new things.

Braxton is getting AWESOME at guitar hero he can play some songs in medium now which is pretty good he is so proud of himself and I know Lance is excited too!!!

I can't believe I am letting the dog in the house!!!!! Of course on her leash tied to the back door but she has done so well until YESTERDAY!!!! Lance and I left her tied up while we ran to work which now is in walking distance, well Braxton came home from school and found that she had gotten her leash off the door knob he was beside himself, "Mom she was all over the house the house is just a mess and she was on Brinlees bed mom I just can't believe she got out you are going to be so mad!!!" To say the least I WAS REALLY MAD especially because she left two presents in our front room!!!! SO now when we are here she can be in but when we are gone she it OUT!!!! If it wasn't so cold out here we could leave her outside but lately it has been FREEZING!!!!
